IEEE and Crytek's VR First Initiative have formed a strategic partnership. The partnership was launched at GDC 2016 as a non-profit initiative to teach VR in schools and colleges. IEEE showed support for the initiative as a guest at the partner's meeting in Frankfurt, where they negotiated a partnership. With IEEE backing the program, Crytek's VR First approach now has a strong foundation, which could help standardize VR curriculum in schools and colleges in the future.

This has started to gain some attention. It has formed partnership initially with some companies and IEEE is also going into that list now. Institute of Electronics and Electronics has also came in partnership with Crytek. Frankfurt held launch partner’s meeting where IEEE showed its presence in form of a guest. After some negotiation, IEEE and Crytek have formed a strategic partnership.VR first labs have their own setof moralsand valuesaroundwhichall thisprogramisrevolving:Partners,toolsand target group.

Previous engine has become a base for popular Amazon lumberyard however Crytek’s VR first initiative has given a lot of push to next gen gaming engine popularly CRYENGINEV. Crytek’s target audience being college and students in schools, surely they are working in right direction. They have not only succeeded but also have made themselvesa legacy.
